Statistical relationships between higher-order moments of probability density functions (PDFs) are used to analyze top-of-atmosphere radiance measurements made by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and radiance ...

We investigate three key aspects for creating a climate record from multiple hyperspectral infra-red sensors. The motivation is to produce a multi-decade continuous record of global radiance measured leaving the atmosphere. ...

A 4‐year zonally averaged climatology of atmospheric CO₂, ocean only, between ±60° latitude has been derived from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) radiances. Using only very clear fields of view, the CO₂ profile in ...

The radiometric intercomparison of instruments is a key element in developing climate-quality data records. In this study we compare data from the first two years of the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) ...

It is widely accepted that the knowledge of the frequencies of the spectral response functions (SRF) of the channels of hyperspectral sounders at the 10 parts per million (ppm) of frequency level is adequate for the retrieval ...
